                     The Grace of Ordinary Days Book Reading
Join author Bernie Saunders on Tuesday, September 21, at 1:00 pm, to hear him discuss his
collaborative book of photography and poetry. This rare mother/son book collaboration rekindles bonds
of love in The Grace of Ordinary Days by Kay Saunders & Bernie Saunders. Described as “Tuesdays
with Morrie meets Georgia O’Keeffe,” The Grace of Ordinary Days, by poet Kay Saunders and nature
photographer Bernie Saunders, is a rare glimpse into the separate but inseparably linked lives of a mother
and son. Contemplative poetry and stunning flower photography are woven together by a narrative thread
in two voices. Mother and son retell their versions of memories from a shared past and how each
perceived them differently. The stories shed light and perspective that leads to understanding and
forgiveness. The Grace of Ordinary Days can help us to love better, and remind us of our own beauty,
truth and passion.
The book will be available for purchase.

                                           Photography Workshop
                                                   Magic Light: tm
                                         The Artistry of Photography and Life
                      “Creativity comes not from what is photographed, but from how an image is conceived.
                              To develop this creativity we must first learn to see.” Arnold Newman

 Photography is about light -- the light a closing shutter paints -- and the light that photographers "see"
 within themselves and communicate to others. Magic Light is a one day experiential workshop for anyone
 interested in stretching creatively by using a camera to express their connection to the world. Any kind
 or size camera -- pinhole to the latest digital -- will work great. Creating powerful photos happens when
 our emotions are engaged with what we are photographing. Magic Light provides a unique opportunity to
 explore light, texture, mood, and one’s emotional connection with the world. Workshop Structure:
 Magic Light is designed to guide people through a wide variety of self-expression activities and creative
 encounters. Participants will be invited to explore and express themselves by creating images that are
 emotionally compelling and provocative. We will be using a couple of different venues in Sun Prairie
 during the workshop.
                                       Who Is This Workshop For?
 Magic Light is designed for those interested in increasing their ability to use the camera as a creative
 extension, to take better pictures, and increase their confidence when taking photos. All levels of
 photography experience will benefit from this day.

 Bernie Saunders received his first camera from his father when in junior high. Nature has been a critical and constant
 element in his life, and continues today as the cornerstone and guide in his quest for tapping and expressing his
 creativity. During the past few years he has focused on a project entitled, The Soul of Flowers, and has exhibited
 this body of work at numerous exhibits and shows in the Midwest. His most recent book with his poet mother, Kay
 Saunders, is The Grace of Ordinary Days. Bernie is self-taught, and has had the privilege of learning from Doug
 Beasley, Pam Belding, Jim Brandenburg, and Dewitt Jones.

Resources and Support
                                 EAT RIGHT WHEN MONEY IS TIGHT!
The FoodShare Helpline is a service of Feeding Wisconsin and its member food banks. FoodShare is a monthly
benefit deposited on a debit-like card, the QUEST Card, to help with food purchases, freeing up money for
bills, medications and other necessities. It’s easier than ever to apply and you can even get free,
confidential assistance. No future appointments are currently scheduled.
Did you know…
Even the minimum benefit would give you $180 per year! Eligibility is based on income and cer-
tain expenses, so you can own a home and car and even have a savings account. Claiming Food-
Share helps your community. The USDA estimates that for every $5 spent in FoodShare benefits, about $9
circulates through local businesses and to our farmers. Receiving benefits does NOT take away from others.
EVERYONE who is eligible and applies will get benefits.
For more information, call Heidi at 608-630-4113 or the FoodShare Helpline at
1-877-366-3635 today.

The Wisconsin Emergency Rental Assistance Program is a program to assist eligible renters impacted by the COVID-19
pandemic who need help with their rent, utilities, and/or other housing stability. Eligible households may receive up to 12
months of assistance to help with current and/or overdue utility bills, rent, and/or other services that help them remain in
their homes.
Who is Eligible? A household may qualify if at least one or more individuals in the home meet all of the following
criteria: 1. Qualifies for unemployment or has experienced a reduction in household income, experienced major costs,
or experienced financial struggles due to COVID-19. Demonstrates a risk of being evicted or losing your home; and,
3. Has a household income at or below 80 percent of the county median.
Note: The counties of Brown, Dane, Milwaukee, and Waukesha, as well as the cities of Madison and Milwaukee, are
operating their own emergency rental assistance programs and are not participating in the Wisconsin Emergency Rental
Assistance program. For more information, visit: https://doa.wi.gov/Pages/WERA.aspx

                       Medicare Scam Claims to Order Genetic Test
There’s an old Medicare scam resurging. Scammers offer “free” genetic test kits that allegedly screen for heart
conditions or cancer. It’s not a “free” test. Instead, it’s a trick to steal Medicare information for fraudulent billing
and/or identity theft purposes.
How the scam works:
You receive a call from someone claiming to be from Medicare or an official-sounding organization, such as “The
Cardiac Test Center.” The caller claims to provide a free genetic test kit, and all you need to do is agree to re-
ceive the kit by mail, swab your cheek and return the vial. The test will tell you if you have a genetic predisposi-
tion to heart disease, cancer or another common condition. The caller insists the test will be covered in full by
Medicare.
Of course, there’s a catch. Before the company can mail your test kit, they need your Medicare ID
number and personal information. Scammers may ask about your family medical history and previous
diagnoses, your address and the information off your Medicare ID card.
This scam doesn’t only stem from phone calls. Scammers may lure victims by going door-to-door, setting up at
health fairs, and even providing gift cards or other giveaways in exchange for participation.
While genetic testing is a legitimate service, scammers are trying to commit fraud by billing Medicare for unneces-
sary tests. Their cons can lead victims to identity theft, and in some cases, a bill for thousands of dollars. Always
consult with your primary care physician before agreeing to a test.
How to protect yourself from Medicare fraud:
Be wary of any lab test at senior centers, health fairs or in your home. Be suspicious of anyone claiming that ge-
netic tests and cancer screenings are “free” or covered by Medicare. If a product or test is really “free,” your
Medicare number won’t be required.
Don’t share your Medicare number with anyone other than your doctor’s office.
Protect your Medicare number by keeping it in a safe place (not your wallet).
Don’t trust a name or phone number. Con artists use official-sounding names or appear to call from a
government agency, and/or a related area code. Medicare will never call to confirm personal information, Medi-
care information or ask questions about your personal health.
Report it. Go to BBB.org/ScamTracker to file a report. Your report helps warn others of the scams taking place
in the marketplace.

                                                Nutrition Counseling
One-on-one nutrition counseling is available to older adults seeking information on ways to improve their
overall health. Older adults (age 60 and older) who reside in areas served by Dane County’s Senior
Nutrition Program are eligible to meet with a Registered Dietitian to discuss nutrition-related questions
or difficulties. While there is no charge for this service, donations are always welcome. Common topics
include: diabetic diet, unintended weight loss, heart healthy diet, taste and smell changes, poor appetite,
Parkinson’s disease, difficulty chewing or swallowing, basic nutrition for older adults, constipation, acid
reflux, cooking for one or two. Please note: counseling for desired weight loss will not be approved for
this service unless accompanied by a doctor’s referral.
To learn more about this resource or to schedule an appointment, contact Shannon Gabriel, RDN, CDN, (608) 261-
5678, or Gabriel.Shannon@countyofdane.com.

                  Monthly MIPPA Moment: Help With Medication Costs
          MIPPA (Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act) has a goal of educating older adults
                         on Medicare’s cost-saving benefits & preventive services.
Each year in late September, Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans or Part D (prescription drug) plans will send you an
"Annual Notice of Change" (ANOC). The ANOC is the notice you receive that gives a summary of any changes in
the current plan’s cost and coverage that will take effect January 1 of the next year. Review this notice to see if your plan
will continue to meet your health care needs. The ANOC is typically mailed with the plan’s Evidence of Coverage
(EOC), which is a more comprehensive list of the plan’s cost and benefits for the upcoming year.
If you are having difficulty paying for medications, there are programs that can help! If you have limited income and
resources, you may be able to get “Extra Help” through the Social Security Administration (SSA) program by that
name with paying premiums, deductibles, and copayments for Medicare Part D. You may need to apply for Extra Help
separately with SSA. You can apply or get more information about Extra Help by calling the SSA nationally at 800-772-
1213 (TTY 800-325-0778) or locally in Dane County at 866-770-2262 or visiting www.socialsecurity.gov/extrahelp. The
Extra Help program is income-based.
SeniorCare is for Wisconsin residents who are ages 65 and older that also helps members cover the costs of
prescription drugs. While SeniorCare and Medicare Part D are stand-alone programs, you can enroll in both at the
same time. Wisconsin’s SeniorCare prescription drug assistance program is considered “creditable coverage.” This
means SeniorCare meets or exceeds the standard Medicare Part D plan, so you will not have a penalty if you choose
SeniorCare instead of Medicare Part D. A penalty will incur if you go without either Part D or SeniorCare, however.
Call the SeniorCare Customer Service hotline at 800-657-2038 for questions, or you can find more information here:
https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/seniorcare/index.htm. This program is available to all incomes, however with varying
levels of assistance based on income.

                                                              at 608-240-7458.
